Mountain High... Valley Low

Mountain High... Valley Low is an album by the gospel singer Yolanda Adams released by Elektra Records. Several singles were released from Mountain High. The set leads with the Warryn Campbell-produced "Yeah", which was co-written by gospel duo Mary Mary who springboarded from the song to gain their own fame. The most notable single was the second release, "Open My Heart", which became a massive crossover fixture on R&B radio. Both of the singles had accompanying music videos. Remixers like Maurice Joshua, Digital Black-N-Groove, Pound Boys, and Junior Vasquez were brought in to turn both of these songs into dance club-friendly material. "The Things We Do" and "Fragile Heart" were also serviced to radio and fared well on adult contemporary stations. The album stands as Adams's best-selling to date, having sold more than 2,374,000 copies and being certified double-platinum by the RIAA.^[2] The album won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Soul Gospel Album.
